Within an hour of asking for people's help on Facebook, a police officer had been contacted and managed to get into the apartment to save the poor dog.Thanks to the incredibleneighbourhood community, this dog's life was saved. Jacob Smith, a local resident who works for an animal welfare charity, managed to get in touch with the dog's human, and it seems the dog was not put outside on purpose.

It turns out the dog's name is Duck and he is safe and warm now. His human is very grateful for all the community's support.
